>write villainous character as the antagonist
>audience is derisive of the character and condemns the actions and goals ("Whatever the reasons, what (s)he's doing is wrong and (s)he should be punished. Not to mention his/her toxic personality.")

>write villainous character as the protagonist
>audience sympathizes with the character and will even defend or support the actions and goals, to the point of being derisive of other characters for "getting in the way" ("His/her actions may be "evil" but are totally reasonable/understandable/justified. And he/she's not really such a bad person.")
